1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Metabolic reprogramming represents a hallmark of malignant tumors, manifested through progressive alterations in nutrient utilization patterns during oncogenesis. As fundamental constituents of biological membranes, essential components of signaling pathways, and critical energy substrates, lipids undergo comprehensive metabolic restructuring in neoplastic cells. This lipid remodeling confers enhanced adaptability to sustain uncontrolled proliferation while promoting aggressive migratory phenotypes. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a ligand‑activated nuclear receptor responsive to bile acid (BA) derivatives and cholesterol metabolites, orchestrates key aspects of lipid homeostasis. Its regulatory network encompasses cholesterol/BA metabolism, fatty acid (FA) metabolism and plasma lipoprotein trafficking pathways. Emerging evidence positions FXR as a pleiotropic modulator in oncogenesis, with dysregulated expression patterns documented across multiple tumor lineages and premalignant lesions. This mechanistic understanding has propelled FXR‑targeted therapeutics into the forefront of precision oncology development. The present review critically examines the FXR‑lipid axis in lipid‑enriched malignancies, with particular emphasis on its regulatory circuitry governing BA flux and FA turnover.
